Title: Only In Floriduh! Post by: Howey on September 26, 2013, 12:50:55 pm Can a gun crazed group offer you a free shotgun! (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-free-gun-offer-orlando-20130924,0,7167590.story) Quote An armed citizenry is the answer to the crime problem — at least that's the view of a new gun-rights group offering free shotguns and ammunition to residents in one Orlando neighborhood. The Armed Citizen Project of Florida — an offshoot of a Texas group whose website tagline is "Deterring Crime by Empowering Neighborhoods" — left leaflets on doorsteps throughout the Sunshine Gardens neighborhood Sunday seeking "volunteers to reduce crime in your neighborhood." The neighborhood is not known as a high-crime area. "That's what really cracked me up," said seven-year resident Cathy Rodgers. "I've never felt unsafe in my neighborhood. I just feel like they're preying on people's fears." The flier outlined the offer to arm "volunteer households with one free shotgun…and ammunition" received through a local firearms retailer "after passing a background check." |
